Ya gotta love 'em. Young Military Academy Cadets Mocked Left-Wing Causes Mercilessly At the Army-Navy Game <http://ijr.com/2016/12/753540-at-the-army-navy-game-young-military-cadets-mocked-left-wing-causes-mercilessly/> ------------------------------ <http://ijr.com/author/bennyj/> By Benny Johnson <http://ijr.com/author/bennyj/> 18 hours ago Share Share [image: screen-shot-2016-12-11-at-3-24-13-pm]
On a blistering cold night in Baltimore, the most time-honored of military traditions was played out for three hours on a windswept, icy field, as the Army Black Knights bested the Navy Midshipmen, for the first time in fourteen years. The rivalry is one of the nation's proudest and oldest. The thunderous, monolithic, immaculately decorated military academy student sections mercilessly taunt and mock each other from across the stadium as the game plays out. However, this year the game is being played with a new military landscape ahead. This was the first Army-Navy game in recent memory where Obama's vision of a lead-from-behind, inclusive, softer military seems a fading, distant memory. Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump and his unpolished military-loving, political bluntness is the new normal. *The Army-Navy Game was not a safe space.* [image: BALTIMORE, MD - DECEMBER 10: President-elect Donald Trump meets with cadets from the Military and Naval academies prior to the Army Navy football game on December 10, 2016 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Not even President yet, he commanded roaring cheers from all corners of the stadium when his waving, fist-pumping image was shown on the Jumbotron. The President-elect himself was meme-ified throughout the stands, where his image and most politically incorrect statements were printed on banners intended to mock the competing academy. Both academies, typically steeped in on-the-record respect for elected officials and mandated political correctness, let lose in their own ways, mocking the many movements of the political Left. Among those lampooned were the Black Lives Matter movement, Trump's 'grab 'em by the p***y' comment, “safe spaces” and a lot of jokes about goat rape. ****This is your trigger warning**** Before even entering the Army-Navy game, you are confronted with this sweater, cheering on our next 'Secretary of Offense' Mad Dog Mattis.
